The amount of grip was SICK! We had the ride of our lives out there. Cobra -> Bridal Path -> Mamba -> Boomslang -> Snake Eyes -> DH3 -> Vasbyt -> MY Roots -> Fairie -> Bridge -> Vomit -> Good times.

I was soaked before we even got the top, but it was all good. Epic. Brilliant. Awesome. Unbelievable.

Im glad Im not the only one riding the cobra. I love it! all the little drops and turns. The Dropin is badass though.. I make it less than half the times.  I should learn all the names.. I just ride! All I know is Vomit bridge and Cobra, Bridle path and emm.. thassit

Curious as to how much that thing weighs.

 

 

14.56kg excl pedals. Add 530g for my 5050XX and 200g for my Look Quartz

Hey guys, how about a spin sometime - maybe Delvera? Haven't been there in a while. I hear the Dirtopia crew has done a little work out there.

 

Or maybe we put in a mile or 2 out in Lebanon / Oak Valley / Thandi area...

Gangsta's in the house yo!

 

How do the new Manitou's ride? I have an 07 Minute 4 - it eats big bumps, but the buzz just gets through and tires you out.

 

Bos is bok for a spin in Tokia this weekend, wanna ride sunday morning? Maybe Bos will see this thread and react to....

Will be able to give you a better opinion after 6-8 weeks. Bit unfair do deliver judgement after 4 rides.

 

 

 

Had a Minute Elite TPC on my Ibis for a while and I battled to get more than 125mm of the 140 available. Was stiff and plush, but the A2C height dropped my bikes BB which was something to get used to initially.

 

 

 

Replaced it with a 36 Talas. Will let you know on the Super.

 

 

 

Will be in Durban Sat/Sun morning. Get back at 11 so will grap my gear then and head out to Tokai. Will be too late to join you guys.

Saw you coming down dead man's drop yesterday. Wow! Can't remember ever seeing anyone coming down there and I could never have imagined anybody doing it so fast and smooth.

 

 

 

Maybe time to trade my XC softy for something squishier.
